Chapter 3
We Truly Get To Choose

The path that you follow in life is ultimately an energetic creation that you bring into being through moving into vibrational resonance with it, either consciously or unconsciously.

Ideally, of course, you’d like to do this consciously. You’d like to actually shape your destiny so that your life is in alignment with those things about which you are passionate. Notice that I said “things.” I stress that word because this is not about struggling to determine your “one true passion or purpose.” Your life will be filled with many of both.

I believe that years of people’s lives are lost to this act of “seeking their purpose,” as if they have only one chance to get it right, and if they don’t do what they were divinely meant to do (some one thing), that they will have gotten it wrong… whatever they believe to be “it.”

If that were true, I believe we would have been designed a lot differently than we are, both intellectually and creatively. If we were truly only here to do one thing, my belief is that it would not only be clear, it would be instinctive—that there would never be any confusion or suffering over it. We’d simply be doing it, like bees pollinate flowers. Bees pollinate because that’s what they do. They don’t ponder their destiny, they just be it.

But as humans, we get to choose, and a lot of us have a hard time with that!

The only reason we have doubt about our passion or purpose is that we feel like we should clearly be able to identify it as such.

Why should this matter?

Why can’t we do something just because we enjoy it? Does it have to qualify as our “purpose” for us to commit significant time and energy to it, or for us to assign it any real value?

The bottom line is this: whatever your vision— whatever your dream—it’s going to come easier when you’re truly enjoying what you’re doing. Everything will seem more fun. Action will produce more profound results. You’ll be surrounded by people who support you. You will begin to experience the wonder of life more than ever before.
What we want to accomplish right now is creating a starting point. We want to create a vision that inspires you into some kind of action.

You’re going to create a vision that inspires you to realize your own personal greatness, while at the same time, transforming you into a powerful source of value in the world. And in return, the universe will bring you all you need to perpetuate that experience.

Do you already have a clear vision of what you want your life to be? Great! But even so, I want you to approach this just like those who may not be so clear on what they want their lives to look like. Why? Because we want to be absolutely sure that this vision you have is truly yours.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked with people who are having difficulty attracting what they want, only to eventually find out that what they thought they wanted did not actually originate within themselves.

Perhaps they were “taught” early in life that they wanted to be a doctor... or a housewife... or whatever! Without really checking in with their own sense of passion, they started down a path of education and life experience that was all about creating a life as someone who wasn’t even truly who they were.

This happens to a tremendous amount of people, and results in the eventuality of waking up one day feeling somewhat lost and disconnected from any sense of joy of just being who you are. Ideally, we should be celebrating who we are each and every moment... but we rarely do that. In too many cases, we instead remind ourselves of who we are not, and what we’ve done wrong.

But this is all the result of societal conditioning. The whole idea that we’re “not good enough” was created by others who wanted people in their sphere of influence to “know their place.” For an entity to stay in power, there must be some perception that this power actually exists, and that some people have it and some people don’t. There are always people with reason to teach people a limited nature, rather than an unlimited one. This results in the “I can’t” mentality many of us are dealing with today.

Regardless of what we’re learning about the infinite nature of the universe and the miracle that is every aspect of life, we still insist on focusing on our limitations instead of embracing the magic that it is to be human.

Here’s the truth:
We absolutely get to choose our path.

It might not always be easy, particularly at first. We are talking about an approach to life that is vastly different than most of us were taught to pursue. It’s an approach that says “you can do anything when it is really your desire to do so.”
Creating your path can be very challenging. You’re forced to think bigger than you’ve thought before, more consistently than you have before.

When you start to create this path, the limiting beliefs and negative thoughts will come screaming at you if your vision is not in alignment with those beliefs. Rather than try to fight those feelings, you’ll instead want to recognize them for what they are: simply a learned response to a thought. The more you try to fight these feelings, the more powerful they become.

When you begin to hear the voices say “you can’t do that” or “how will you do that” or “it’s too big,” take a moment to detach from the emotion that is triggered by those words and contemplate where they may have originated.

Did a parent or teacher or some other authority figure tell you that you “couldn’t?” You believed them, of course, because why wouldn’t you? But think about this: How can anyone who isn’t you know what you are capable of? No one knows you 100 percent. We have a hard time knowing ourselves 100 percent, so from what position of authority can another person truly accurately assess what we can and cannot do now or in the future?

The obvious answer is that there is no such position of authority, and yet we buy into other people’s beliefs about ourselves so easily that it’s frightening. We adopt those beliefs as our own, and they run so deeply that they don’t even appear as “beliefs” as much as just how things really are.

When your lifetime of beliefs have resulted in a life that seems uninspiring and with limited potential, or even a life that seems to have a lot of potential, but you just haven’t been able to budge from where you are, it can be hard to hear from someone like me that you can “create anything.” You simply have no evidence to support such a statement.

The truth is, however, that your belief system hasn’t allowed such evidence to become a part of your experience.

You can change that. But this is a dramatic change, and to complete such a transformation, you have to have tremendously powerful incentive. That’s what this vision you are going to create needs to be.

A couple of thoughts before you get started:

1. Don’t ever judge or assess your vision/dream against anyone else’s. Life is not a contest to see who has the biggest, boldest, or most honorable aspirations. You are here to live your life. What do you want that to be?

2. Your vision need only inspire you. No one else around you needs to “agree” with you before you proceed. The people who will support you will appear as you walk this path you are creating.
